Chimamanda Adichie To Release 1st Novel In 10 Years, ‘Dream Count’ In March 2025

Globally acclaimed Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has announced her first novel in a decade, titled “Dream Count”, set for release on March 3, 2025. The novel will be published in the UK and Commonwealth by 4th Estate, and in the US and Canada by Knopf.

In an Instagram post, Adichie shared her excitement, describing “Dream Count” as “serious, curious, probing, and funny,” noting that the writing process has been both challenging and filled with passion. She expressed her pride in completing the novel and anticipation for her fans to read it.

“Dream Count” tells the story of four women navigating love, self-discovery, and deep desires. Chiamaka, a Nigerian travel writer living in the U.S. during the pandemic, reflects on her past relationships and regrets. Her best friend, Zikora, a successful lawyer, faces betrayal and heartbreak, forcing her to seek help from someone she least expected. Omelogor, Chiamaka’s outspoken cousin, questions her identity despite her success as a financial powerhouse in Nigeria. Meanwhile, Kadiatou, Chiamaka’s housekeeper, proudly raising her daughter in America, encounters an unimaginable hardship that threatens everything she’s built.

The novel explores existential questions about happiness and self-honesty in love, continuing Adichie’s tradition of deeply engaging narratives. It explores existential questions that are all too familiar. Is true happiness ever attainable, or is it just a fleeting state? And how honest must we be with ourselves to love and be loved?

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is one of the world’s most celebrated writers, with works translated into over 55 languages. Her debut novel, “Purple Hibiscus” (2003), won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, while “Half of a Yellow Sun” (2006) won the Orange Prize. Her novel “Americanah” (2013) received the U.S. National Book Critics Circle Award and was named one of “The New York Times” Top Ten Best Books of 2013.

A story from her collection, The Thing Around Your Neck, was awarded the O Henry Prize. In 2023, she published her latest work, a children’s book titled Mama’s Sleeping Scarf, under the pseudonym Nwa Grace-James. Her 2009 TED Talk, The Danger of A Single Story, is one of the most-viewed TED Talks of all time, while her 2012 TEDx Euston talk We Should All Be Feminists ignited a global conversation about feminism and was published as a book in 2014. A 2022 recipient of Harvard University’s highest honour, The W. E. B. Du Bois Medal, Chimamanda resides in Nigeria and the United States.
